Espn Idiots

[GROCERYGETTERS]

You're right. Ever since ESPN entered the PPV market boxing has been getting a lot more coverage, both on TV and radio. Here in the ATL we've actually got a couple of radio hosts that take calls on the most recent fights. I'm talkin PBF/Gatti, not that Tyson ****. If it ain't happenin' where you are, call your local ESPN talk station and tell 'em you want to talk boxing.

I agree to a certain extent. Usually if you watch Sportscenter, PTI or some other show, they only focus on the negative. What in the world was Greg Anthony, Scoop Jackson and Steven A. Smith doing blasting boxing and Mike Tyson today for in the middle of talking about the NBA draft? They have no business talking about **** they don't know and it makes absolutely no sense!

This sort of thing happens all the time. Like it was said above, the Tyson - McBride got huge press on ESPN but Gatti - Mayweather got barely any mention. I can't even find out who won between Hatton - Tszyu or Corrales - Castillo or even Hopkins - De La Hoya. It's sad but I doubt most of the people on Sportcenter even know who Bernard Hopkins is. They probably still think De La Hoya is still Welterweight champ!

Atleast Fox Sports is trying to televise more fights. Sure the quality of the telecast isn't up to par with Friday Night Fights, HBO or SHOWTIME, but I admire their effort in trying to promote the sport the right way.
